[Volume III] You might be an aspie if...

Post Reply New Topic

...you think that the 13th floor is really concealing the Architect, then go to some Chinese dude with a key and after telling him about this obvious exploit in the Matrix, he just looks at you weird. But then you find this old black lady smoking a menthol and baking cookies to tell her about it, only to find she does the same thing. Then you decide to run out of the building after seeing some well-groomed men w/ tuxes and shades.

You're an aspie if....



You get blank DVDs for free when you bought a DVD/VCR combo but you don't understand why your boyfriend put the wrong blank disc in the drive (a blank CD) and the blank DVDs and the blank CDs are in two different containers and you know the DVD container has the blue label on it and the CDs don't. It's labeless so you know the difference. But your boyfriend never noticed it, but you did.

... if you have conversations like this with your sibling:

Him: "What is it with all the spaghetti in the house? I mean, who in this house eats spaghetti?"

Me: "I eat it sometimes... every few months or so. It's kind of like my social life."

Him: "Ah, that makes perfect sense now."

(He is also an Aspie.)

You buy a CD. You have the CD and it has the tracklisting printed nicely on the back BUT YOU STILL FEEL COMPELLED TO COPY IT INTO A NOTEBOOK (RUNNING TIME TOO IF AVAILABLE), JUST IN CASE.

or you still religiously and obsessively follow Pro-Wrestling, even though your very nearly 33

. . . your dream job is sorting the change in the parking meters (by denomination AND mint date), not only for the joy of doing it, but also because you nurse the quixotic hope of coming across a 1913 Liberty Head nickel to complete your collection . . .

...you separate all vegetables from your Coleslaw and eat them as separate salads
...you write Wikipedia entries for *fun*
...you spend hours making iTunes playlists for every occasion and putting the right tags and the right artwork and the right genre to each and every song

...you think you might be one.

...you watched the washing machine for about ½ hour.

...you open 10+ tabs of the most interresting post's on WP. (And read them, even though you read them before...)

(BTW... great one, matrix... the last line )...


(And steelback... great one too... you could find me doing that )

. . . you DID edit your post to look EXACTLY like that.

You know you're an aspie if:

You spend the whole movie pointing out inconsistencies and plot holes, as well as photography errors (her hair was over her shoulder in the last shot, why is it in the front now?)

You enjoy a good pun (however, it may have taken you a long time to get it the first time).

You have hand-flapped at any point in your life.

You take everything literally (much the consternation/amusement of everyone else).

I do this too, as well as point out when something is forensically implausible leading to being told
"it's only a movie" by whoever that I'm watching TV with. I also get shushed when I keep asking questions, because the plot is all convoluted, and hard to follow.

...whenever you're forced to use an internet cafe you feel that first you need to download your favourite web browser and all your favourite add-ons and extensions as well as your favourite theme before you can actually do what you came there for

-You wish someone would fix the spelling of "Volume" in this thread's title
-You've ever lost yourself in Wikipedia
-Your find How It's Made much more entertaining than Friends
-You meet up with the local CARD/MAAP group and ask if anyone posts on Wrong Planet
-You spend hours thinking up things to add to this thread

...you will do eye contact in 3 seconds. 2... 1... Eye contact !
...you must add to this kind of list a self-referencial item.
...you are still reading this thread.

You have a Roger Bannister commemorative coin and you are a 44 year old American woman.

...you feel the need to point out that the example above is actually a continuity error, not a photography error.
